Default Upgrade to a GS350

I currently own an 07 ES350...Been considering upgrading to a 08 GS350. Is there anything I should be concerned about with this year/model?

How do folks like the GS350?

The only concern would be excessive thrill, speed, agility and a lot of second looks when you drive by

well more seriously - you will enjoy the GS350. I have the 2009 and can't describe how much I enjoy every day that I drive it.

Will let others comment on any TSBs or such things to look for. I say go for the GS350!

I wouldn't say there's really a concern regarding the year, but going from ES to GS in general you will probably feel like you're losing some interior and cargo room. Other than that, the ride is more sporty so it may appear harsher as well.

a lot of creaks and rattles especially when it's cold, but not sure if this applies to you judging from where u live.. not 07, but i had an 03 ES before. definitely a lot more sportier..
